REIMAGINING HEALTHCARE IN INDIA THROUGHBLENDED FINANCE

Global economies are taking giant strides towards a world where poverty is eradicated, economies are transformed, and sustainable development benefits everyone with minimal environmental degradation. But the resources needed to achieve this are immense. As per the latest estimates by the United Nations, nearly USD 3.9 trillion is needed to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030, more than double the current funding of $1.4 trillion dedicated towards SDGs from domestic and international sources1 . It is therefore imperative for private investment to augment efforts of the development finance institutions and philanthropic funders to achieve the SDGs. One of the key challenges of the SDG era is to channel more private investment and resources to the countries and sectors that need it the most.
